Suggestion for a melee weapon

Since human weapons are currently being upgraded (right?): http://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/77151 Seems it would fit well into UNV. In general the melee fights could maybe be made a bit more interesting by adding a block option or other such things from games like Savage2 or Jedi Knight? Maybe s...

Re: New advanced map editor for Quake engines: TrenchBroom

Hmm, yeah seem more complicated to convert q1 .map to q3 .map than I thought.

Anyways, the Trenchbroom author has confirmed that the 2.0 beta is close and that q3 mapping will be the next feature he plans to implement afterwards.

Re: New advanced map editor for Quake engines: TrenchBroom

Uhh, looks like we might get a late xmas present: http://twitter.com/kristianduske/status/678718184829149185 No official Q3 map support so far (I think), but with some conversion in Netradiant it should work and hopefully official q3 support will follow. See what map editing in trenchbroom2 looks li...

Re: Split the base game into game modes

Yes, a fun game-mode that can be played with few people would be definitely nice. However I don't think splitting player bases is a good idea. I would rather use it as a "warm-up" mode, i.e. the servers always start with a Human V.S. AI mode of waves of aliens attacking a human base, and o...

Re: Using a blue version of the "red cross" in Unvanquished

This was my original follow up per PM: The ICRC link is talking about the IHL (International Humanitarian Law) and it's application in video-games. Of course it doesn't make much sense to have fair treatment of prisoners of war etc. in a fantasy game (but with Aliens it might be a fun topic to explo...

Re: Quick ideas and small suggestions

No not as in TF2, but as in actual invisibility, or near invisibility with a very transparent shader as a skin, or one that only becomes slightly visible if the player moves. Think Predator cloaking like. Have that as a upgrade like a jet-pack, and make it usable only for a relatively short duration...

Re: Quick ideas and small suggestions

Yay, a honey-pot thread to collect spam posts :p

Here is mine:

  • cloaking skill with placeable bombs that damage structures (like in Savage2).

Re: Creep waves

Sounds like a cool idea to try for sure.

This could also impact/credit the resource system in an interesting way.

Edit: would also be a first step for a COOP mode with AI controlled waves of aliens like in Killing Floor.

Integrate some stuff from OpenJK?

Given similar Quake3 legacies, it would be maybe possible to integrate some stuff from OpenJK ( https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK ) into the deamon engine? Maybe it would be cool to have laser-sword fighting for human melee mechanics? The melee based combat in Savage2 for example worked really well...

Re: Simple reasons why the economy is broken

I think UNV should looks more closely how other successful FPS/RTS games managed these issues. For example Savage2 is/was an extremely well done game in regards to game-economy and balancing. For the specific issues mentioned by Lamefun: maybe a stealth unit that could take out critical points in th...
